Review for: Seoul: Korean unique cultural experience Gayageum class with Hanbok in Itaewon

it was an overall majestique experience. The instructor Lee made a beautiful Gayageum performance, teach very kindly about the instrument first before going to the (even someone who lacks rythm like me could finish the easy version. obviously not as beautifully as a professional, but still gives a great sense of accomplishment! 🤣). Amazing experience and beautiful pictures in hanbok + well recorded video! 수고 하셨습니다, 선생님!

I really enjoyed taking Gayageum lessons with my teacher, Kim Hyun Soo. She was very patient, knowledgeable, and easy-going. It made me even more interested in learning deeply. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to experience Gayageum.

Review for: Seoul: Korean unique cultural experience Gayageum class with Hanbok in Itaewon

I recently took the Gayageum class with Teacher Da-eun and was fortunate to have a 1x1 class. I have a background in music and traditional zithers (Vietnamese/Japanese), so I was really happy to find that K-Harmony offered this class. The K-Harmony building is in a very convenient location near Itaewon station and was easy to find. Teacher Da-eun taught me Arirang at first, and given my previous experience, she kindly extended the program to teach me Jindo Arirang as well. She was very talented and well versed in her techniques. We were able to communicate effectively, with translation apps filling in more complex concepts. The class concluded with a photo session in the school's beautiful selection of hanbok, as well as a video recording of my progress that will be a cherished memory. Thank you to Teacher Da-Eun and K-Harmony for this wonderful experience!

Our instructor was pleasant and professional, with her help at the end of the class you will be able to play a not too complicated song even if you're not musically gifted. There's also a photoshoot with hanbok and we received small gifts. I recommend this.

Review for: Seoul: Korean unique cultural experience Gayageum class with Hanbok in Itaewon

The location was close to Itaewon Station, and for the trial lesson, I could choose between English or Korean. Since I had the chance, I opted for Korean. It was my first time playing the gayageum, but the instructor taught me slowly and carefully, so by the end of the lesson, I was able to play a simple song. Playing the gayageum while wearing a hanbok was a wonderful experience that I couldn't have had in Japan! I want to go again.

I don’t have any musical ability and ended up being the only student on the day however the Instructor was very supportive and kind to help teach me how to play and read the music. Hos English was very good. It was a very relaxing experience, fun to learn about the history of the gayageum, listen to the demonstrations as well as have many tries at playing. Highly recommend for those looking to learn more as well as experience Korean culture.
